JLT Mobile Computers publishes interim report for January-June 2022
Växjö, Sweden, 11 August 2022 * * * , a leading supplier of rugged computers for demanding environments, publishes its interim report for the period January-June 2022 today.
JLT has continued strong order intake during the quarter, which ended at MSEK 45 (55), a decrease compared to the record-high second quarter of 2021, but an increase of 3% seen for the entire first half of the year compared to the corresponding period last year.
Turnover for the quarter increased by 18% compared to the previous year. JLT thus maintains a good invoicing level despite the ongoing component shortage, this by allowing customer engagements and deliveries to have the highest priority, which however leads to extra costs in the logistics chain that negatively affect the gross margin. In addition, some larger deals with a lower gross margin have been delivered and invoiced during the quarter. Overall, the gross margin for the quarter has decreased to 39%, to be compared with 42% for the same period last year.
After many of the Corona related restrictions have been released, market activities have increased and since the turn of the year JLT has participated in several large trade fairs and is now processing new customer prospects and business opportunities from them.
The investment in software solutions and increased service content continues and the first products are expected to be launched in the second half of the year as planned. The start-up of the newly established company JLT France is also progressing with revenues as expected.
Summary of key figures
- Order intake MSEK 85.2 (83.1)
- Net sales MSEK 89.9 (65.7)
- Operating profit MSEK 3.5 (5.5)
- Profit after taxes MSEK 2.6 (4.6)
